  • I finally talk about the newest chapter of Berserk... which is now months old. The manga is back on hiatus.
    I'm not upset at all.

      @@DarkKnightCuron let's be real there is no way Guts would agree to becoming an apostle it's just against everything he has done. Plus even if he did, it would become even harder for him to fight Griffith due to that innate obedience to the godhand and especially Griffith himself. But who knows what Guts' future will be and I can't even begin to think of what the ending of all this could be.

      The desperation would be of greater disconcern. "Guts is more likely to try anything" is directly proportional to what he can accomplish on the battlefield. Which, the way he sees it right now is nothing.
      What makes Berserk/Guts so great to me is it takes the old saying "there is nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing left to lose" and willingly presses that logic against a razor, face first, thread by thread.
      Literally approaching Socrates definitions of men and virtue.

    I think the manga is going on hiatus again so the team can fully flesh out and finish figuring out the rest of the plot. 371 feels like the end of an arc, and leaving it at such a depressing and infuriating (in a good way) cliffhanger means people will want to come back as soon as the manga continues. But that's just my speculation on the hiatus.

    I think the Beast kept off activating when confronting Griffith to fuck Guts over. Not because its power would have been able to put a dent in Griffith or anything like that, but because he didn't want Guts to lose consciousness when he realized just how powerless he truly is before Griffith. If Guts had lost himself in a rage he wouldn't have been able to see for himself how weak he is compared to his enemy, which was crucial for breaking him and allowing the Beast to break its shackles and then go in for Guts's mind.

    Personally, I think the kidnapping of Casca was impulsive on Grifith's part. Partially the desire of the moonlight child wanting to be with his mother and partially his desire to have Casca back as a pawn/lover.
    It's less that he sees it as something planned out, more that he can write it into the plans, or he's confident that he can control things even though Casca is like Guts, being partially outside of causality.

    • @volibear7635

      Can you elaborate on Casca being outside Causality?
      I was under the impression that SK saved her for Guts' sake, so that he would not lose himself and his body like SK, having a purpose because of her.

    • @ripghotihook
      @ripghotihook Před rokem +5

      @Volibear well, when skull knight is talking to Guts in... I forget the chapter, but he explains to guts that normally people can't change things, but because Guts survived and he might be able to make some minor changes, akin to ripples on a pond. So, I would think that applies to Casca as well. It's not as if she and Guts are fully outside causality, like Griffith seems to be, but they are slightly outside of it.
      Probably not the best analogy, but think of it like this: Regular people are those standing by a pool and looking at it. They can't change how much water is in it or anything. Griffith can drain the pool, add food coloring, overfill the pool, put alligators in it, whatever he wants as he has control over it. Guts and Casca are stand8ng with the normal people, but each one has a sack of small stones. They can throw the stones in or skip them across, making waves. It doesn't change much, but it is more than normal people can do and can be outside of Griffith's predictions and plans.

    @theholygamer969 Před rokem +6

    My best guess on how this will end goes as follows. Could be totally wrong.
    Skull Knight's complex plan will be put to action at his stolen kingdom, and it will either destroy one or all the members of the Godhand, at the cost of his old empire, which he learned to let go of long ago. The Godhand can't anticipate all of what he does, and he knows that. So he's taking advantage of their limitations to end the suffering they force on the world.
    Guts will properly grieve his losses instead of bottling it up like he did for years, tame his inner beast, and go on one final journey to retrieve Casca, and get out of Falconia as fast as possible. Guts won't be the one to get revenge, since it's now confirmed that he can't fight Griffith. Skull Knight can, so he'll be the one to carry out an attack on the Godhand and hope it's a killing blow. Guts will simply evacuate whoever he can before they're caught in the crossfire.

    The thing about toxic people like Griffith is that they never really let go. There have been people in my life who were manipulators, who always tried to keep others closest to them down in order to feel better about themselves. Which is Griffith to a t, as he literally became a demon to shut off his emotions and get what he wanted. The sad thing about people like this is treat they never really let go, they just focus on whatever they don’t have or their own insecurities. Even when Guts tried to move on, Griffith couldn’t handle it apparently, and so stole everything from Guts again. I’m sure this will come back to bite Griffith in the ass, but whenever Griffith is defeated or killed, I will have some satisfaction in knowing that the last thing he will see, real or imagined, was his best friend. I hate you Griffith.

  • @mr.generico386
    @mr.generico386 Před rokem +6

    I don't think Guts is going to or is even able to kill Griffith. From what I understood, Rickert is able to hit him because he doesn't see Griffith as a god, and the perception of the human mind is what powers the astral world and by extension the godhand. In theory, assuming i'm right, that means that the one who will kill Griffith will not be Guts or any of the characters who perceive him as a god, but a lesser character who doesn't, like Rickert for example. It all goes down to the story trope of the great evil not being defeated by the powerful but by the weak (Like LoTR). But that's only speculation and no one really knows what was in Miura's head except Mori, so thank god he's writing the story now and we'll be able to see Miura's ending at least at a conceptual level

Imagine when she finds out the woman she saw rescue Griffith from the tower of rebirth all these years ago is now a broken mess because of her lover.

    I think the parallel of Guts sinking to the depths of despair, parallelling Griffith's sinking to the depths of despair before and during the eclipse, is a bit understated. Griffith was fully lost, insane from torture, jealous of others' station and thinking his dream will never be accomplished. That's when he was manipulated into giving up his most precious thing, his mercenaries whom he had so desperately built, to gain power and ascend to a demon, to gain his dream of a kingdom.
    Guts' dilemma has been his friends and his vengeance on the other hand. He has so far ignored his vengeance, or rather it has set aside. But this chapter reveals that Guts never really let go of it. I think the dilemma was best put into words by skull knight: Guts can choose the path of vengeance but he might fade into a shadow of rage and malice with no real personality or person left. I believe this is what happened to Skull Knight. He chose vengeance and even to remain in existence, even when he was turned into a creature of a single purpose, who understands and exists for nothing other than vengeance. I think that's what the parallel with the queen of faeries was about, she still loves him, but to him the only thing he lives for is vengeance, his human past and priorities are forgotten, they are not real to him anymore.
    i believe this choice must come to Guts as well. Will he choose vengeance or his friends or some other path, yet unclear to me. To be precise, Guts will be presented with the power to destroy the Godhand but that power must come with a terrible price, like the parallel choice of Griffitth's. Maybe Guts will be overtaken by the spirit of vengeance that lives within him and only with great cost or the loss of one of his new companions will snap him out of his madness.
    In spite of the passing of the irreplaceable Miura, I believe the story has great potential and remains very interesting to me. We shall see what the future will give us.

    Really small detail that I noticed about Sonia is that her armor in 371 has a heart symbol on it. Casca's sword hilt during the Golden Age had a Heart Symbol in it, I don't know if this is meant to represent how Casca and Sonia each show(ed) devotion to Griffith, but I think it's really subtle character design.

      Guts still has something to lose. He needs to get Casca out of that city before they're caught in the crossfire, and find a way to get rid of their brands so they aren't permanently Hellbound. They have to think of the long-term consequences and how to undo them.

  • @TheWuzup123456
    @TheWuzup123456 Před rokem +7

    I think that Guts was shown the memories of the Skull Knight for a very specific reason. It brings back the conversation that Skully had with Flora before she died, the Knight believing that fate is cyclical and that things are destined to repeat, but Flora disagrees, saying that she believes that it's more of a spiral. I deadass think she's right, after seeing what the Skull Knight *probably* did to the previous God Hand, and that his lover died in his arms in the Old Capitol... might be VERY important information for Guts to have
    Especially since he basically seems to be facing the choice of whether or not to become the Skull Knight and "let his hatred consume him" or "to use his rage to keep him alive". Skull Knight has been pushing Guts to try to make different choices than he did, and I don't doubt Flora helped as well, trying to resist the flow of Causality. Let us also not forget a warning from the Skull Knight: "You must choose between killing Griffith and saving Casca, you cannot do both." If Guts goes to Falconia with the intentions of killing Griffith, driven mad by his rage and hatred, he will be unable to kill Griffith. If Guts goes to save Casca, I think it'll knock Griffith off balance and he'll lose to Guts, very similarly to when Guts left the Band of the Hawk.
    Plus, it *is* possible to hit Griffith, we have seen Rickert do it, so perhaps one cannot strike Griffith down with hatred in their heart? Maybe Rickert or Casca was always supposed to be the one to kill Griffith, and Guts needs to be the one to protect them? I truly can't wait to see how this all comes together, so hyped for more chapters whenever they actually come out

Casca will probably have to undergo some huge mental growth to allow her to fight the apostles one by one and in theory through confronting her past directly and turning her trauma into a strength, she'll probably be able to face Guts again and the two will reunite thus bringing us to the happy ending that we were promised.

    another thing with Sonia and her very likely knowing what they were going to do with Elfhelm, that also means she likely knew what she was doing when she invited Schierke to the Band of the Hawk and paints her whole scene with Schierke in a whole new twisted light
    I can buy her not being insistent on Schierke not coming with her because there's no real reason to show her hand like that in front of potential enemies and also probably reasoned that just one witch, and an inexperienced one at that, probably wouldn't pose too much of a threat in the long run
    so yeah, disaster very narrowly averted
    And another thing with the Beast of Darkness not doing anything during the Griffith fight, I figured the scene in the boat was where everything just hit Guts all at once emotionally and it was waiting until that point to do anything

    It should be said that the Beherit that Guts has is not meant for him. According to several characters in the story, he is carrying it someone else. It could be Casca's

      But she’s already a sacrifice for someone else, so would that even work for her then?

      @King Cesar slan stated when guts fought her in her "womb" that he could always use the behelit as an easy way out and to gain more power, so I'm thinking that maybe it doesn't matter if your branded or not, maybe anyone can use it regardless if they have been sacrificed or not. We don't know the rules because this is like the first time someone has survived the sacrifice aspect of the ritual. Honestly I find it stupid that Griffith gets to be a member of the God hand even though his sacrifices were not all killed off as per the agreement. If anything that alone would be more than enough to inspire him to want guts and casca dead but he has his power and knows guts only wants to be left alone so why keep pursuing him and making him pissed off?

    Sonia doesn't seem pleased that Griffith brought back another woman

    Maybe the beast made a calculated decision to hang back and let Guts fail miserably in the fight against Griffith, to let him feel powerless and weak, so he'd finally get closer to his lowest point and let the beast take over completely.
